If only game makers today has the skill and passion in making their games.... Infinity ward has with COD4 but thats about it... Westwood really went all out and really cared about their games especially this one.. Even today I play this, one of my top 5 games along side outrun and sonic... modern games and makers like EA can kiss my ass because there not making anything new... its the same stuff over and over again... THIS is original... frank bless you man

@SVWillmer EA's sole practice is taking games from good companies and turning them to crap. The only good games EA puts out is games outsourced to other companies and not touched by them.

@SVWillmer Point taken, but I seriously don't get why you consider them "too cinematic". C&C was always cinematic. It was a major selling-point. The entire linage even comes from a film license: Dune. The problem is rather that amateur acting by a bunch of dedicated dudes on a tight budget is fun to watch; while amateurish acting coming from a bunch of celebrity actors is pure torture. I don't want Thulsa Doom or a Cylon in my cut-scenes; I want Kane and Stalin.

@Metamusik That being said, it's obvious to me that since games have a much wider audience today, the tendency to emphasize a lowest common denominator really hurts the games themselves. I think we're going to see a similar situation like in cinema, where we have huge box-office hits that are basically BS sold to the masses and more Art House games pushing the envelope for people who actually care.

@Metamusik Tiberian Sun and RA2 were peddled by EA, look at when Westwood was taken over. TS was rushed and EA ran RA2 you can tell how similar the cutscenes are to Tib Wars etc, too cinematic.

@rachskald I hear you. But everything looks better from the vantage point of history. I don't miss games like Conquest Earth, and neither does anybody else because nobody remembers it. I remember it because I bought it and it was a broken piece of shit. Compared to games like that, contemporary games rule. You can't expect every game to live up to the hallmarks of an entire decade of game-design.

@SVWillmer come on now, Westwood was slipping even before EA took over. TS was terribly unbalanced and had annoying assholes playing the Commander. It kinda sucked, and it went up against Starcraft. Let me repeat that: The competition at the time was Starcraft. Westwood died right then and there, RA2 was a good game but the mood was gone. It was all camp comedy, no edge left.

@Metamusik Bethesda is decent, but I really miss the storywriting, and characters from games like Baldur's Gate, Knights of the old Republic or Planescape; Torment. Or it's music (or soundtracks like from Might and Magic 6 and 7, and HoMM untill part 3). While there are some studios out there that are doing their best, I really feel character and plot writing/development, and game music, have peaked during the nineties and never came close anymore. But that's my personal taste speaking.

[rachskald]

What's an EA? What's this C&C 4 you are talking about? You must al be posting the future, bcause everyone knows Tiberian Sun is the last game in the series. Know shut up and enjoy the music ;)

@matrixmairo Original Westwood games were checked and tested thoroughly,I have never run across a glitch in the og westwood games before EA. Firestorm was meh, but Yuris revenge was fun to play in multiplayer. EA then took over and did their thing, ruining the games, making them toooo movie like. Take c&C 3 for instance, not bad but too movie like. Its only a game.
